The PokerStars 2021 Pennsylvania Spring Championship of Online Poker (PASCOOP) series proved to be a successful one.
The 41-event series in Pennsylvania, which had more than 47,000 entries with three buy-in levels, ended with a total prize pool of $2,642,485. That was 30% above the original series guarantee of $2 million, according to a news release.
The two-day Main Event High, which ended on Monday, attracted 1,015 entries and resulted in a prize pool of $284,200, which was more than the initial $200,000 guaranteed prize pool.
”Kingboss93” took home a $46,410 first-place prize and actually predicted this victory earlier this year, the release said.
In April, “Kingboss93,” had placed second in PokerStars’ Pennsyl-Mania tournament and upon being congratulated on Twitter by PokerStarsUSA, “Kingboss93” called his shot, stating that he would reign victorious in PASCOOP, according to the release.
